This is an odd question in that choices both A and E can be correct, while of course other things can be easily dumped for obvious reasons.

A. that government officials agree to have the area razed. …. Perfect fit of subjunctive mood; can be a choice.

B. that government officials agree for to have the area razed.=== agree for is wrong idiom
C. the agreeing by government officials to have the area razed. ----requiring the agreeing? Awkward
D. government officials agreeing to have the area razed. ---- Government officials agreeing? awkward
E. government officials to agree to have the area razed. … Uses simple idiom requires X to Y where X is the object and Y the subjunctive verb, exposing the intended meaning precisely ; another good choice.

I wonder whether a topic with two potential choices as correct ones will ever appear in a GMAT. But as per the norm that between equal choices, better stick to the original, A will be more prudent to choose than E. But E is more crisp and clear. It is any body’s guess now.
